Critics Consensus

A tale of love and plastic surgery, Kim Ki-Duk's haunting film is both wryly comic and disturbing.

A pathological case study disguised as a romantic melodrama. Go to Full Review

This is powerful stuff, so why does the movie feel less convincing the longer it goes on? There are two ways to tell this story -- coolly distanced or melodramatically hot -- but [director] Kim combines both approaches, and the mixture doesn't congeal. Go to Full Review

It's worth noting that even though the plot is daffy, cosmetic surgery is very popular in South Korea Go to Full Review

05/30/2014 Too melodramatic and crazy for me. The woman is just plain crazy (so is the guy if he's attracted to that, and doesn't want to leave after any of her moments of crazy). The movie feels like an indictment of South Korean culture and how they apparently over embrace plastic surgery. The movie was interesting, though. See more 04/03/2014 This one is heady in all the right ways. I've had the honor of catching a bunch of Kim Ki-duk's work, and "Time" stands close to his bigger 'hit' films. "Time" is culturally relevant (to S. Korea), as seems to be the case with many of Ki-duk's movies, and is filled with twists and deep characters that one would come to expect from a Ki-duk film. His films are always thought provoking (if a bit confusing sometimes), and "Time" is no exception. The whole movie is great, and its crescendo is one worth studying. "Time" is Arpke Approved at 4 out of 5 stars. See more 08/21/2013 Dull. Had great potential as an expose on the superficiality of cosmetic surgery, and modern life in general, but falls well short of being profound, or even interesting. Basically just drifts, and drifts, and drifts, and ultimately goes nowhere. See more 02/10/2013 ?????? ????. ???????? ???? ??????????? ??? 2-3 ??????????? ??? ??????? ??? ????????. See more 02/08/2013 omg... twisted sick b****, turn the guy into some sort of psycho. too weird for my taste but okay movie. See more 12/05/2012 I know Shi gan deals with insecurity & lack of identity &... but I think the main point is accepting the passage of time & the fact that nothing lasts forever, The best I've seen by Kim Ki-duk along with 3-Iron See more Read all reviews
